Wintertime calls for cuddling. Wrap your baby in a woodland-inspired blanket that will keep them warm and snuggly even while the winds blow outside. Evergreen Forest calls to mind a dense forest of gorgeous trees. Use a wool-blend yarn for extra coziness, and bring out this heirloom year after year with the first chill in the air.
